Quarry Lock on the Turnerwood lock flight on the Chesterfield Canal, west of Worksop. The Chesterfield was an early canal, opened in 1777, making much use of lock staircases. After the collapse of Norwood Tunnel in 1907, traffic beyond Shireoaks stopped. This section of canal fell into disuse, but was restored and in 2003 was reopened to navigation.
